Highlights
- ✓Walk suspended wooden boardwalks above the emerald river within the gorge
- ✓Wade and swim in refreshing natural pools fed by mountain springs
- ✓Explore a dramatic 300-metre-deep canyon with towering cliff walls
- ✓All-inclusive open buffet lunch featuring Turkish specialties
- ✓Expert guide commentary on local geology, flora, and geography
- ✓Easy access via well-maintained riverside paths suitable for most fitness levels
Insider tips
- ★Bring water shoes or old trainers that can get wet—the boardwalks are safe but slippery, and you'll wade through shallow river sections
- ★Pack a lightweight waterproof bag for phones and valuables; splashing is inevitable near the water
- ★Go early in the season (spring/early summer) when water levels are higher for better swimming, but expect cooler temperatures
- ★Wear quick-dry clothes rather than cotton; the sun-exposed boardwalks dry you quickly but the gorge stays cool
Good to know
- •Tour lasts 10 hours including hotel pickup/dropoff and lunch; departs early morning
- •Boardwalk sections are accessible for moderate mobility but involve some uneven surfaces and stepping over rocks
- •Lunch is served buffet-style at a riverside pavilion; vegetarian options available (confirm dietary needs when booking)
- •Bring swimwear under your clothes, sunscreen, hat, and a light jacket for shaded gorge sections
- •Water shoes recommended; rental may be available on-site but bring your own to guarantee fit

Best time to visit
Visit April through June or September through October for ideal conditions—warm enough to enjoy swimming but not scorching, and water levels remain substantial. Midday (10:00–14:00) offers the best light for photography within the canyon, though early departures mean you'll arrive as morning light filters through the gorge.
